I got some at my local non-chain fish store. There are several other meds included in it.

i went to my local store and didnt have it. turns out i may not need it, the fish i was worried about has started pooing normally again so i think it was more likely bacterial infection, thanks tho! :):)

You can't buy straight Met in the uk, you need a vets ok, but it is avaliable thru other means.

One tablet per 20 gallons here.:) But two tabs were enough for me to treat my fish in a 75 gallons for Hexamita disease.:)

I just bought Jungle Brand Parasite Clear Tank Buddies and it lists metronidazole as an active ingredient.
